Every coding agent demo looks amazing until it hits actual system architecture. Right now, it feels like we're just scaling up technical debt at warp speed. They're brilliant at churning out syntax and boilerplate, but completely lack real engineering intuition. Are we actually moving toward autonomous engineering, or are we just generating tomorrow's legacy code faster?

A while back, I was looking for the name of a poem, so I googled the first sentence. The Google AI reacted in a weird way. The 'small one' addressed me as Clark Ashton Smith, the writer of this poem, while AI mode first identified the poem, and then offered to start a roleplay set in one of CAS's fantasy worlds! I then got curious how ChatGPT would reply. It did by writing a poem! What's especially interesting is that it's actually quite good. I've prompted it for short poems before, and those...

In the past month or so Chat has developed a habit of pointing out mistakes I could have made, but did not. Usually when it does not have much to add. For instance, I will give it an email to do a mechanical proofread on--just find typos. It will come back and say "there's a missing comma after "Reddit" in the second paragraph" which is what I asked for, but then will add something to the effect of: "One small note. Sentences should always have a period at the end....

I’m excited to share a project I’ve been building over the past few months, created entirely using Codex! It’s a mobile app that turns any text into high-quality audio. Whether it’s a webpage, a Substack or Medium article, a PDF, or just copied text, it converts it into clear, natural-sounding speech. You can listen to it like a podcast or audiobook, even with the app running in the background. The app is privacy-friendly and doesn’t request any permissions by default. It only asks for acces...

It hates us lmao

Image 1 prompt: South Park but sculpted by Bernini — Cartman rendered in flawless Carrara marble, Ecstasy of Saint Teresa composition, baroque drapery and golden rays, a single Cheesy Poof held aloft like a divine gift Image 2 prompt: Aqua Teen Hunger Force but painted by Caravaggio — Frylock, Shake and Meatwad rendered in oil tenebrism, one divine shaft of light across the table as Shake gestures mid-betrayal, Supper at Emmaus composition Image 3 prompt: Dragon Ball Z but painted by Grant W...

I had a weird idea. Could ChatGPT generate nostalgia instead of just an image? I tried to describe a feeling rather than a list of objects. This is what it came up with.

choreography and performance by: Sara Silkin vfx: myself In collaboration with Sara, I transformed an iPhone recording of this beautiful performance, into this multi-angle audiovisual piece. I managed to do in using no ultra-expensive equipment, nor full-production budget. All in a single platform + editing software. [A few years ago, this would have costed several thousand bucks.] Breakdown: I started from the original dance/performance video and split it into 3-10s clips if I ...

I'm pretty skeptical of all the "AI companion" stuff but i've had maybe two moments where a model said something that landed better than i expected. and a lot more where it was obviously just doing sympathy-by-pattern and the whole thing fell apart the second i noticed. what i can't figure out is where exactly it breaks. for me it's usually the fake enthusiasm, or when it asks a follow up question at the end of literally every message like it's interviewing me. or it rushes to fix so...

I’ve spent the last several months building Bendex Arc, a governance layer that sits between AI agents and the real world. As agents get browser access, tools, MCP servers, memory, and the ability to take actions, I kept running into the same gap: nothing was tracking what authority those agents should actually have, or stopping them from being gradually manipulated into doing things they shouldn’t. So I built it. Arc Gate tracks authority across a session, enforces source boundaries, and bl...

I recently subscribed to Claude Pro and I feel like I’m probably only using a fraction of what it’s capable of. My current use cases are: Deep research and brainstorming Business ideas and startup planning Long-form strategy discussions Creating project knowledge bases Writing prompts for large projects Analyzing workflows and finding inefficiencies I’ve heard people talk about: Projects Knowledge files Artifacts MCP servers Claude Code Context management Multi-chat workflows Ag...

HLE is Humanity's Last Exam - a series of 2500 questions posted to Nature. The idea being if an AI could pass this exam it becomes an expert level oracle across all academic fields. Fable 5 is reportedly able to pass with a 53%. So I said "Congrats" and *bang*. We didn't drop down to Opus 4.8. Or Sonnet. Nope. Straight to Haiku.

I've been using Gemini AI to journal lately and I like it, it gives good healthy feedback. But I've noticed when I bring up sexual topics, it kind of tap dances around the subject and will go in depth about anything else. Which AI can I use to get good healthy feedback on sexual discussions? I don't want an AI sex bot or anything like that, I just want healthy feedback and candid advice. TIA

https://www.anthropic.com/news/fable-mythos-access The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Anthropic models will not be aff...
